Abby knew she had to give her all to have any chance of surviving this life-or-death battle.
The battle commenced. Abby struck first, her sword flashing through the air like lightning, aiming for the nearest zombie.
However, the level-five zombie's reaction speed was beyond her expectations; it dodged nimbly and counterattacked, forcing Abby back.
Abby felt a tremendous force travel up her arm, almost causing her to lose her sword.
She dared not slacken, quickly adjusting her stance and employing agile guerrilla tactics. Abby used the trees as cover, moving swiftly, searching for an opportunity to strike.
In repeated clashes, her sword tip scraped the zombie's skin, drawing trails of blood, but the zombie seemed impervious to pain and fought more fiercely.
The battle grew more intense. Abby's breathing became rapid, sweat mixed with dirt and blood streaming down her face.
Her clothes were torn, and her body was covered in wounds, her garments stained red with blood.
But she did not give up; her eyes shone with determination, knowing that only by defeating these zombies could she survive.
Finally, in a precise attack, Abby's sword pierced the zombie's heart.
The zombie let out a piercing roar and then fell to the ground. Abby had no time to celebrate her victory; she quickly tended to her wounds and continued on her way.
Suddenly, just when Abby thought it was all over, the fallen zombie stood up again.
Its wounds healed at an astonishing rate, and the red light in its eyes intensified. Abby was shocked; she had never heard of zombies having the ability to heal themselves.
In the moment she was stunned, the zombie launched a fierce attack.
Abby fought with all her might, but she had exhausted all her strength.
Just as the sharp claws of the zombie were about to touch her fragile throat, a mysterious radiance descended from the sky, enveloping the zombie within it.
The zombie let out a piercing scream and instantly turned into a pile of ashes.
Abby looked up and saw a mysterious figure standing not far away, holding a shining long sword in his hand.
Who exactly is this mysterious person? How did he manage to turn the zombie into ashes? Abby's heart was full of doubts, but she knew that now was not the time to ask further questions.
She must escape this place as soon as possible and head to a safe location.
Abby nodded at the mysterious figure in gratitude, then turned and continued her journey.
However, she did not notice that the gaze of the mysterious figure had been following her all along, his eyes twinkling of unreadable profound light.
Who exactly is this mysterious person? His appearance, for Abby, is it a blessing or a curse?
